For readers fascinated by stories of political corruption, a daughter’s account of seeking truth and justice after her father is murdered by Indian police amid war and state violence in Kashmir.

Huma Sheikh was on a train, traveling with her father, Ghulam Nabi Sheikh—a celebrated Kashmiri musician and broadcaster—when he disappeared from his bunk overnight. Days later, her family discovered he had been murdered by Indian police—and cremated against all laws and their Muslim traditions.

Murder in Kashmir follows Huma’s journey through corrupt legal systems, police cover-ups, media silence, and cultural stigma to reclaim her father’s story. As a Kashmiri woman, she confronted not only political oppression but also the gender discrimination deepened by war in her fight for answers.

Blending personal loss with political truth-telling, Murder in Kashmir offers a voice to the silenced and hope to those who have survived trauma. It is both a record—so such atrocities are not forgotten—and a warning, so they are not repeated.
